Mysterious Days
Springtime in TangierThe sky's getting widerRenewing its splendourThe world's getting brighter
Setting out just like the sunThat's never seen the rainStepping out we're homeward boundAnd never be the same
Ah - we lay our hearts wide openAh - we live mysterious daysAh - the spell cannot be brokenAh - we live mysterious daysAmerican writersNow work in the atticUp in the CasbahThere's plenty to worship
Shine again Arabian moonAnd be the guiding lightLife is changing like the dunesWandering in the night
Sham Betoch Ha'arafel {over there, inside the fog}Sham Karov Le'elohim {over there, close to God}Sham, Sham, Sham Balev {over there, over there, over there in the heart}
Ah - we lay our hearts wide openAh - we live mysterious daysAh - the spell cannot be brokenAh - we live mysterious days
